Idk there were a lot of variables before so this seems to be more straightforward at least, not sure how it will look in future updates tho.
If I'm understanding this right, it means the player must now choose between the ntr and love scenes. In a test environment that's fine since players can easily adjust values. But I'd expect it to be harder in the full game which would make it more tedious to have a single "complete" run. And if ntr events do lower max love as claimed, then it would make it impossible to watch everything in a single save unless it's reversible somehow.
Admittedly, the old system was a bit clunky with so many values to keep track of. But at least events only had a minimum requirement. With the current system, we can view all ntr and love scenes in one go. Maybe it's not as "logical" as the new system, but there's plenty of ntr where the woman pretends to still love the protag so it's justifiable.
In my experience, h-games never "lock out" a player from viewing any h-scene, with the exception of virginity being involved. Players of this game are mainly looking for something to fap to. It wouldn't be good if they find out halfway through that they can't view a particular subset of scenes without restarting.
This is all going off the explanations being posted here, but if that's how the new system works, I hope Technobrake either:
- Make it fairly simple for players to undo certain changes. So players can still view all scenes in one save but would need to do some reversals.
- Change the system to one that only requires a minimum value so players don't get "punished" in terms of h-scenes for choosing certain actions.
